GLASWEGIAN four-piece OCEAN FRACTURE (pictured left) will be
clambering across Hadrian's Wall and heading for Middlesbrough for
tonight's weekly Sumo gig at the Cornerhouse.

If you're into stuff like Dillinger Escape Plan, Botch and
Norma Jean you're sure to be impressive by these progressive
metallers - technoheads "but without getting self indulgent".

In their brief tenure as a band, the Ocean Fracture lot have shared
a stage/toured with These Arms Are Snakes, Eden Maine, Bossk, Sika
Redem, Manatees, November Coming Fire, Devil Sold His Soul, Secondsmile,
Lavotchkin and released five-track mini album The Sunmachine And The
Ocean in March 2006.

Joining them will be RISE OF RAPHIA, who feature former members of
Big Scary Monsters Jairus and Yndi Halda as well as a current member of
Undergroove's Cubic Space Division.

Their explosive Converge meets Every Time I Die-esque wall of sound
has been blowing audiences away.
